Keys to Change

Using the power of collaboration to provide solutions to end homelessness.

09/05/2026

We’re just weeks away from coming together for Project Connect in Avondale on September 24th, and we still need volunteers to help make this day possible.

We also need helping hands on September 23rd as we prepare and set up for the event. Whether you can help behind the scenes the day before or join us on event day, there’s a place for you on the team.

This is more than an event — it’s an opportunity to show our unhoused neighbors that their community sees them, cares about them, and is willing to show up.

Are you or anyone you know interested in volunteering? Sign up today:

🎥 Behind the scenes!

We had the opportunity to tell our story with Desert Financial Credit Union. Their employees and members have generously supported Keys to Change, and we’re incredibly grateful for their partnership and continued generosity.

This special thank-you video is coming in October, and we can’t wait to share it with you! Stay tuned!

What do Dolly Parton, Elvis Presley, a childhood diary, and a day spent experiencing homelessness have in common?

For Keys to Change CEO Amy Schwabenlender, they’re all part of the “crucible moments” that shaped who she is — and how she leads.

In her latest Reflections Blog, Amy looks back on moments of loss, empathy, resilience, and transformation, and considers what they teach us about leadership and our shared humanity.

From seekers to teachers, reachers to leaders — aren’t we all one of them at different points in our lives?

Read Amy’s latest reflection, “What Dolly Taught Me,” and take a moment to reflect on the experiences that have shaped you.

Key Campus is more than a place to access services — it’s a community of organizations working together to support people experiencing homelessness. Across 13 acres and 8 buildings, about 10 different organizations provide a range of services, including healthcare, dental care, emergency shelter, meals, benefits assistance, and more.

When services come together, people can access more of the support they need in one place. This is part of Amy's conversation on Unsheltered Conversations by HomeAid Phoenix.

What role does Key Campus play in our community’s response to homelessness?

In this clip from Unsheltered Conversations by HomeAid Phoenix, Amy Schwabenlender explains how Key Campus brings together an array of service providers in one accessible location to support adults experiencing homelessness.

Originally opened in 2005 as the Human Services Campus, Key Campus was created to connect people with the services they need — making it easier to access support in one place.

Amy recently joined Scott Larson, CEO of HomeAid America, for an episode of Unsheltered Conversations — a podcast exploring homelessness through honest conversations with people working to make a difference.
